Job description

Financial firms rely on dozens of critical systems to develop and execute strategies, evaluate risk, track P&L, lead sales and trading, and handle settlement. The constant challenge is the complexity of integrating these systems so that data moves correctly across the enterprise, at higher speeds and lower costs. Building solutions in-house can take a large team and a larger investment. Integrators and consultants may not understand a firm's business model or data. That's where we come in.

Here at Bloomberg Enterprise Technology Solutions, we help firms run that complexity. Providing common tools, services and expertise, we enable firms to simplify technology relationships, which ultimately drive lower total cost of ownership, faster time to market and improved transparency. With our track record in delivering hosted solutions and our understanding of our customers' needs, we believe we are uniquely positions to help clients with this challenge.

What's the role?
As an Integration Solutions Architect in Enterprise Technology Solutions supporting our growing business, you will be responsible for technical integration between our clients and Bloomberg's premier applications.

In addition to data connectivity and transformations, our products also allow clients to code up to our API programmatically in either a server or desktop architecture.

We'll trust you to:

• Design, configure and deploy the integration of trading interfaces between Bloomberg and clients
• Manage your time effectively and to multi-task in a fast paced, performance driven environment
• Be responsible for the successful completion of integration projects

You'll need to have:

• 5 to 10 years of experience in a technical role, covering front office technologies in a financial institutions or financial vendors
• Capital Markets knowledge with understanding of buy & sell-side order management workflows
• Strong experience working with MQ, SFTP, Web API, SWIFT and FIX
• Experience in ETL workflows / data transformations using XML / XSLT
• Ability to engage with external clients and manage expectations
• Proven ability to independently manage integration projects

We'd love to see:

• A technology background, with some programming / scripting experience
• Programming skills, e.g. Python, using Code repositories
• Experience of big data analytics
• Skills of using WebAPI tools, e.g. Postman
• AWS and Azure foundational certified.
